PHILADELPHIA — For nine years as the Phillies sideline reporter on NBC Sports Philadelphia, Gregg Murphy’s season ended in September. He joined the broadcast crew in 2012, just missing out on the glory years of 2007 to 2011. While Murphy loved the role, he never got to cover a postseason run for the television network.
“I always said to folks, ‘This is the best job I’ve ever had, but we’re not even very good,'” Murphy recalled. “‘I can’t imagine how great it would be when we’re good.'”
That all changed shortly after Murphy started his new position on the Phillies radio broadcast, hosting the pre- and postgame show since the 2021 season.
